>> "Thinking he was about to be robbed again, he fired through the door"
>Yeah, that appears to be a pretty foolish thing to do.
Definitely. Reminded me of the part in Major Payne when the little boy is scared because he thinks there's a monster in his closet. The first time I saw this, I figured it was one of the other boys in the movie playing a prank on him and hiding in the closet. Major Payne draws his pistol and unloads it into the closet door, exclaiming "if he's still in there, he ain't happy." At this point, I was like OMG he probably killed a kid (there's no one actually in the closet). Point being, if you fire a gun through a door knowing someone is on the other side, you should be held as accountable had you aimed the gun directly at them and fired.
Ratings leave something to be desired for sure. You can tell if something is worth checking out if it's highly rated but other than that they aren't tremendously useful.
That being said I'm not a fan of the goodfil.ms graph at all. Why do I care about how rewatchable someone else thinks a movie is? Do I want to watch it again? I would know because I'd have seen it.
I think rewatchable is the wrong term. Fun is what you're looking for. Major Payne is a fun movie. It is incredibly rewatchable but I don't need a website to tell me that. I could use a website to point me to it if I haven't seen it before.
I think the site is on the fringe of something important though. There are multiple ways to rate a movie, and mood plays a huge role in what you want to watch at any given moment.
